If you have not, you should watch the press conference, it was good. The football and basketball coaches spoke. Love the basketball coach. How made great comments. He noted he was there to win games. Right now he is concentrating on A10, but he is looking forward to competing for the conference title. His goal is to go to the Damce and the conference doesn’t matter. The MAC Commissioner noted that it will be the job of conference schools to build back to the level it was at during its high point and feels UMass will challenge the other teams to make that step. Football coach talked about continued improvement in their program, beat Army for the first time this year and also beat New Mexico. There recruiting is stepping up to MAC level recruiting. Talk about upgrades in facilities. Talk about how it’s going to be good for the team to be able to compete for conference championships. You should watch…

Football coach talked about continued improvement in their program, beat Army for the first time this year and a so beat New Mexico. There recruiting is stepping up to MAC level recruiting. Talk about upgrades in facilities. Talk about how it’s going to be good for the team to be able to compete for conference championships. You should watch… THE MAC office is being too modest and is not bragging about some major problems it has solved. MAC football has become TOO competitively strong in D1, is TOO popular and TOO profitable. By adding the program that is 131st out of 133 D1 teams in attendance, AND which was ranked 180th last season by Sagarin (meaning it was worse than about 50 FCS schools), the MAC has decisively addressed these problems. |

For some reason I'm reminded of my elderly father, who is almost 90, who likes to tell us, over and over, about his favorite steakhouse. We've probably heard about it 200 times, but he still tells us, while we politely nod and then ignore it. Not sure why I thought of that just now. |

No. For the same reason I never watch a state of the union address, or a presidential "debate". My appetite for bullshit talking points and insults to the intelligence is very limited. |

You can fast to forward to the coaches.. Maybe this will give you some new ammo . Cause right now your just repeating the same shit you have said for 15 years |

I guess I'll start saying different shit when shit that's different from 15 years ago starts happening with BSU athletics.
UMass appears to be better than the average MAC basketball program. Not a ton, but somewhat. So likely they will be one of the teams that periodically contends for a MAC title and regularly beats up on us. I haven't noticed that the existence of such teams already in the MAC has done anything towards mitigating the mismanagement of our basketball program, or of lifting it out of its 24-year-long swirl around the toilet.

A really good presser. I almost became a UMass fan. They appear all in. We will see.
